2:00 am
hour ago saying the shooter who is on the list is suspect number two wearing the white baseball cap on behalf of fbi earlier tonight. there is a lot to cover. i am bill hemmer live in boston. our coverage continues with my colleagues in new york. (beep beep) (bleep) (insdirnsab (indiscernible yelling) >> get back! >> back up, back up, back up. >> we are following breaking news out of massachusetts right now. residents in water town being told to stay inside and keep their doors locked following a
2:01 am
major standoff there. th the boston marathon bombing we know suspect number one is the black cap is reportedly dead. the other believed to be suspect number two white hat still on the lose. police now on the hunt. they say a man in a black t-shirt armed and dangerous. police calling the suspect a terrorist and quote came here to kill. >> this started before 11:00 last night when mit massachusetts institute of technology campus police officer was shot and killed after responding to a report of a disturbance on campus. >> he was apparently shot and killed in his vehicle we are hearing from local police. police responded to a car jacking event at a convenience store that led into a massive chase on to the streets of watertown. that's where the two suspects reportedly began throwing
2:02 am
explosive devices at police officers. these guys are armed and extremely dangerous. one is dead in the hospital. >> they were able to get in the mix of the cops. bill hemmer quickly scrambled to the camera. he joins us right now in boston. you can watch on the monitor incredible video of our guys in the middle of the police zeroing in on whom we believe to be the bombing suspect. >> yeah, it is remarkable. brian, if you are just joining us the viewers at home are just waking up, there has been a flurry of activity over the past 6 hours. really over the last 12-hours. if you back up to 5:00 the fbi is quiet for two-days before breathing to any one in the public and then they came out with the bombshell images of the suspects. suspect number one and suspect
2:03 am
number two. it is obvious if you look at the profile of suspect number 2, if there is an individual who knows him they will be identified promptly. look how clear this image is. this is outstanding work on behalf of the fbi. when you think about the amount of pressure that was on that organization to put out information they held their ground and they held their ground until they were sure and this is the image that america is watching now. boston commissione police commissioner saying this man is dead but suspect number 2 is on the lose. according to reports from boston was taken from a local gas station earlier tonight. that is suspect number 2 previously seen with the white hat on. watertown police talked to reporters in that town. >> we have a picture, a video from 7-11 in cambridge last
2:04 am
night that he is dressed in a gray hoody type sweatshirt. he's a light skinned caucasian man with longer brown curly hair. you have seen the picture, ya'll have it that's the individual we are looking for at this moment. that is suspect number 2, the white capped individual. >> suspect number 1 -- >> our location here the finish line, watertown is by the mit campus to give awe sense of the directions. boston police pulling up in a police cruiser jump out of their car and say has any one seen a guy in the black t-shirt. they that's what suspect number 2 possibly is hearing. unless he drove here he must be a very fast runner to get here
2:05 am
now. >> suspect number 1 has ladies and gentlemenedly been shot and killed. suspect number 2 the kid with the white hat is on the lose in the watertown area they are going door to door. the video we showed a third suspect someone with their hands out on the ground face down, allegedly he has been taken into custody. there likely is a third suspect here? >> could be or a person caught up in it or maybe they were connected or perhaps they were roommates or did they give them shelter. these answers we don't have. someone is told get down lay in the street and don't move. he agrees with the officer's orders. i can't tell you what his connection is if anything. >> the police have been going door to door in watertown. they have been going through people's backyards they have been opening up open or ajar doors. it could be anybody at this point. as far as we know one person is
2:06 am
dead, one of the suspects is dead, another one still at large. this has been a massive manhunt all through out the night. >> if you listen to the gun fire, and if you -- if the lorps a -- reports are true they through a grenade at a car or a pressure cooker bomb that tells me they were ready for battle. maybe not another battle, but perhaps they were getting ready for another attack. where would that have happened had the fbi not gotten the tip and moved the way they did tonight. >> the fbi has a method to what they were doing at 5:00 they released the photos. the suspects could have been watching this realized they had to make a move whether it was another attack or something else. they were moving. as they began to move it happened. an officer was shot in his car
2:07 am
reportedly. that is an aggressive behavior. however, somebody car jacked after 30 minutes was allowed to leave. that is not aggressive behavior. but that person may have been the one who told everybody about the suspects who they were, where they are and where to find them. >> a lot of this stuff doesn't make sense, brian. we are going to try to piece it together as quickly and as accurately as we can. there are a lot of moving parts. bear in mind this, that police officer is dead. he was a campus police officer of mit and another police officer severely wounded and trying to fight for his life at a local hospital. >> let me tension comention acca law enforcement source they are looking whether or not the bombing suspect may have been from overseas and may have had overseas military training. that coming in from mike lavigne over at the justice department.
2:08 am
has been covering this all along. >> we want to go to mike tobin who is in the middle of the scene in watertown all night. he joins us live with the latest. >> a short distance from where the bombing was 10 minutes by car the mit campus there was a probable brie at a bsh bsh robbery at a convenience store. gun fire erupted. there was u tube video. this is what it looks like. (gun fire) (gun fire)>> there
2:09 am
>> there's explosions and gun fire going on down the street. (gun fire) >> and bear in mind, in that exchange of gun fire a campus police officer with the mit campus lost his life. he was struck by a bullet and we have report that is his gun was stolen. what followed was a high speed c chase for five miles in a stolen mercedes suv. through out the process explosives were hurled at the car at the pursuing police officer. many police agencies ascending on watertown.
2:10 am
you saw the state police whashgs appears to be national guard, cambridge police, boston police. a volatile situation in which explosives, homemade explosives were distributed around the town. they remain on the street right now. one of the policemen were struck here. we saw the ambulance speeding away taken to bette israel hospit -- beth israel hospital. suspect number one died from the wounds sustained here. suspect number 2 originally the individual shown on the video in the pictures by the fbi the joint terrorist task force wearing the white ball cap backwards. he is no longer wearing the white ball cap. particularly because the latest image released from him shows him wearing that gray hood de. that is the individual at large. that is the individual
2:11 am
considered armed and dangerous. he is a terrorist who came here to kill people. he's at large right now. people in watertown are urged to stay in their homes. don't poke around. the police out there are very skiddish right now particularly with all of the explosives. we saw a number of police cruisers speed by our location with a great deal of aggressiveness. very much alive. with one individual still at large. >> the shoot out was going on not in afghanistan or iraq but this is in a neighborhood with this kind of neighborhood. it is amazing there weren't more people in the middle. stay right there we have fox news justice producer mike levi levine. >> they are finding out everything they can about these two suspects now that they have an identity on him.
2:12 am
they are researching whether they came from overseas or military training overseas. >> is there anything indicating that they did have military training? what makes them think they might have had that or might be from overseas. >> the quote i was given is there's something that tipped them off to the fact that they should look into it. i don't know what that is. >> the officers said that impromptu press conference on the street corner a few mints ago they said these guys are armed dangerous and they are terrorists. they came here to terrorize. they are not from massachusetts. >> i don't know. >> federal sources have to investigate all potential a ang
2:13 am
ang -- potential angles. >> we want to bring bill hemmer in. any reaction to the latest news that mike levine just brought to us? >> i think it's intriguing and tanks early. mike stepped with the appropriate amount of caution.' of either individual. that has not been made public on behalf of the fbi or police. i know there's a lot of stuff flying around the internet but nothing has been confirmed. i will tell you i keep coming back to the moment at 5:15 yesterday afternoon when the profile of suspect number 2 went out. you look and clearly you can see if you know this person you will identify them immediately. the fbi prepared themselves for several days once they go public with the information there will
2:14 am
be a siege of information about this person's identity. maybe one person or a whole community knows him. >> he has been on the lose and has not been accounted for. >> when the press conference happened they gave out the film and video they were so dramatic and specific. if this guy is around they will find him. the public will find this guy. are you surprised that it happened this quickly? >> it is not over just yet. that's the first point to be made. i think the fbi has done a brilliant job here. we were frustrated on wednesday especially and most of the day thursday because the story it goes a little cold. you don't see an image like this. and once you do it's like holy cow. they have been working it and this is the best piece of evidence they have and man is it ever an excellent piece of evidence. so i tip my hat to them and what they have done so far. >> i didn't know it was possible
2:15 am
in a city like this to obtain weapons like we reportedly have gotten. these were really grenades coming out or expressi -- explosive devices coming at police officers. it is astounding someone could have assembled this type of arsenal and no one knew about it. >> these guys were successful n with their bombs. how many times do people attempt this and they are not successful. they did as they set out to do. where did they get the training? was it practice in the u.s. or some country overseas? remember tuesday night you may know someone who is preparing for setting off explosives. if you did jog your memory and start telling us about it. you have to train for this somehow, somewhere, some way. if grenades were thrown tonight this is a higher grade of weapon that is more advanced from this
2:16 am
hardware store shopping list that was put out on tuesday about the ball bearings and the circuit boards and the pressure cooker. that's the kind of stuff you can pick up in 5 minutes at the store. >> we still need to piece together that what happened overnight. we saw one suspect being brought away. if there is a third person, he would have to take off all of his clothes and get in the car and originally they were saying that's one of the suspects. we find out not only was that not one of the suspects number one was shot and killed during the night. >> in a shootout with police. and he died later at the hospital. one of the hospitals where they brought the victims. >> including the are 5-year-old battling head injuries. >> i would add to that if they found this guy because they car jacked the car or shot a police officer that's one thing.
2:17 am
but if they had a street address they were targeting a certain house there. you go into the house you find other people in there you take no chances that's what could be what accounts for the apprehension here. >> very interesting there was a cop or fbi agent who asked you if you had seen a ygentlemen ru by anywhere with a black t-shirt. you are a good 5 or 6 miles from where the shootout occurred? >> a little further. about 10 miles. what i can tell you is what we heard and saw. the police cruiser pulled up they got out quickly. they said any one seen a man with a fwlashg shirt. th -- black t-shirt. they believe that was suspect number 2 and he was heading back to copley square 10 miles away. if he had transportation he could do it quickly at 4:00 in the morning. if you are on foot i don't know how that's hosibl -- possible.
2:18 am
they came back and said we are safe in the area but where is this guy? >> stick around we want to check in on molly lyon. good morning, molly. police are searching for one of the suspects. he could be on foot right now. what have you learned? >> well, we are here still at the corner of arsenal -- or mount auburn and langdon. this is an active scene in the area. we have seen things pick up in the recent 10, 15 minutes. we are getting a lot of information about possibly the suspect could be moving. we have seen officers going up and down the streets shining them into homes as you think they would with the search going on. we have seen activity and cruisers going by in the area in
2:19 am
the last couple minutes. of concern are we are beginning to see the lights come on in this community. we are begin to go see people peeking out of their windows. this community is waking up as this search appears to be getting more and more active in the early morning hours. at least in this neighborhood. we are a few blocks from an area also being described as a very active scene. we can't quite see over the hills where those blocks are that police have been talking about. we are keeping an eye on it. right now we are just waiting. as you can see behind me they are blocked off. only so far we can go but from this vantage point things are picking up in this neighborhood. for the last couple minutes you can see cars coming through going through the yellow police tape. a few more cruisers coming down. maybe half an hour ago everyone who sort of begun to leave this area are coming back.
2:20 am
an active scene all across this community of watertown. back to you. >> stay right there. we want to have our other affiliates on the broadcast network join us. we will do that now. if you are just waking up there's news breaking it involves who of the they'marath bombing suspects. one suspect often seen in the black hat and what we have had a chance to review he we believe is dead. suspect number 2 is on the lose. >> all right. now officially we would like to welcome you to the morning and well you what's happening overnight. it is coverage you have been waiting for and all of us have been looking forward to that is the hunt for the suspect in the marathon bombing that took place
2:21 am
monday it seems to get to a real turning point. one, suspect number one seen in a black hat with bridgestone written across the front we believe reportedly has been shot dead taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. suspect number 2 in the white cap, the white cap has been removed. the second shot has been delivered in about 30 minutes with a hoodie on he is at large. there is also explosives involved. police we believe having not only to deal with being shot at but with grenades thrown at them. so much going on so flu width -- fluid i found it intriguing the police had a press conference
2:22 am
with us in the last 30 minutes to tell us what's taking place. >> two cops have been shot one of which has been pronounced dead. >> one is dead and one is said to be in critical condition, too. we are not sure if people make it or not. you can image the amount of angst they go through when they hear that news. to our viewers, if you are just joining us right now, we have had many developments through out the night. we are in copley square where we have been reporting for the past week. the boston marathon would have finished behind us in a quarter mile. the other location is watertown massachusetts, 10 miles west of here near the campus of mit. it was around 11:00 last night when police officer was shot near 7-11 a terror s -- picked p suspect number 2. the police are yet to brief
2:23 am
again. let's go to that right now. >> the gun shots and explosion i reck niedzed that somethi-- rec that something was really wrong and called the emergency department to let them know, and then quickly got dressed to come into work and rushed over to the emergency department. >> i arrived in the emergency department before the patient arrived. >> what time did you hear the gun shots? >> sometime after 12:45. >> we don't have any information on the identity of the patient. >> do you know the age? >> we don't have that information. >> do you have a gender? >> it is arn adult male. >> can you describe your feelings being in watertown, hearing the noise, you come into work and you see that patient
2:24 am
(inaudible). >> there's a couple different parts to it. one when i start hearing the gun shots and the explosion, given what had happened over at mit and seeing all of the police cars rushing into watertown past my house and seeing all of the sirens, i knew or felt very strongly this was related to the event earlier this week as well as what happened at mit earlier in the evening. because of that yi felt as thouh something large enough was going on in the community it warranted calling the emergency department and coming in. the emotions you set aside when you come in to go to work to do the job. >> did you actually work on the patient who was shot? >> i really don't want to talk about that. >> because i was going to say
2:25 am
knowing what you knew going into it as a doctor, how do you deal with that? >> you give the best care you can to every patient that comes to you regardless of what may or may not be. because you don't know what happened out there and you don't know who they are, you don't know what the circumstances are. whether it was a suspect, an innocent police officer, you have no idea who this is when they arrive, you give them the best care you can to try to help them. >> (inaudible question) >> i did go and look out the window. i did not see anything other than the police cars rushing in to watertown. >> you get patients all of the time was there anything different, were there more police officers than usual, anything to indicate this is very serious what is happening here? >> so there was a large police presence when the patient
2:26 am
arrived. more so than typical. but -- >> were they able to talk to the patient at all or glean anything from him? >> i don't know. i can't speak to that. >> the police commissioner said there was a suspect here? >> can't confirm. all we can say is that a patient came in. you probably have anothmore information about this than we do. >> this was a trauma arrest. we believe it was a combination of blasts and gun shot wounds. >> how many gun shot wounds? >> unable to count. >> probably a blast injury also. >> an explosive device possibly shrapnel. it was pretty much through out the trunk. it was multiple wounds. >> (inaudible question) >> unclear. i think the medical examiner
2:27 am
will be able to conclusively answer that. more than gun shone gun shot wo. >> that's about all we can say. >> do we know if he said anything? >> all we know is he arrived and raised here. we don't know what happened. >> he had been in cardiac rays? >> that's correct. >> you worked on him for 10 or 15 minutes? >> that's correct. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> that's a fascinating press conference held at the hospital beth israel hospital. bill hemmer is standing nearby. a lot of interesting things coming out of that. you had the medical professional who heard gun shots from his home, called the er told them something big was happening in the watertown area.
2:28 am
he goes to work. what is fascinating he would not comment on whether or not he worked on the suspect coming in and apparently later died in the hospital. >> i thought multiple wounds, bullets, explosions, those are the injuries he was treated for. when will asked how many bullets he said he was unable to count. that takes us back to some of the video we were watching earlier with the gun shots on that street and how they were bouncing off the walls of these homes and reverberating off the asphalt and the houses around them. it was quite a scene. if they wanted to go out in a blaze of glory, don't emphasize the glory. what this man did and what he is responsible for and what the police and fbi believe he is responsible for dropping an explosive device a bomb at the finish line in the boston marathon knowing full well there were women and children and all sorts of defenseless innocent
2:29 am
children around he left that bomb there to go off and walked away and then tried to hideaway from his crime on monday afternoon. >> i find it very interesting this gentlemen that was brought in, they called him an adult male, multiple gun shot wounds. the blast injury part is interesting to me. was it from like we reported when these gentlemen were fleeing the scene were flowing explosives out of the window was it from that or potentially a bombing in the marathon. >> it could be either. anything is possible at the moment. they were throwing grenades out of their car. it could very well have been from either of those over the past 6 hours. >> more than gun shot wounds.
2:30 am
sounds much like the victims and those who survive, the three who lost their lives to shrapnel. something similar to what they are assembling. i find it interesting the heartless way in the way they placed the bombs. you think about the way they died one shot a police officer in his car multiple times. that heartless fashion then the story of the car jacking where they took this car held him for 30 minutes and then released this guy. there are so many questions at this hour. >> it is 5:30 local time. this is just the beginning of what will be another very long day in boston, massachusetts. just like yesterday and the day before and on tuesday we were not quite clear or sure where the events would lead us. we are not sure where the story will go today. this is where we believe it is now.
2:31 am
suspect number 2 the man with the white hat is on the lose. whether it's the fbi or bliss or law enforcement officer they want this image out there. that's what they did last night walking into the 7-22 capturing the picture on sur slains office. >> if you see this man call0--c. >> here is what it taking place if you are just waking up right now. (indiscernible yelling)
2:32 am
>> all right. here we go. this is the footage of police going in and drilling down on what they thought is a suspect in the marathon bombing. shoulder to shoulder. the movement that explains the shooting and that really took place in response to a shooting that took place at 10:48 when eye witnesses said that an mit officer was shot in his car at main and vasser streets in building number 32 near the school state center. no one else was hurt at that hour. then things picked up as cops scrambled to the scene. >> what we do now we have been told is that suspect number one, the gentlemen with the dark cap has been shot.
2:33 am
he was -- he passed away at the hospital, confirmed by the hospital briefing. suspect number 2 the gentlemen with the white cap seen right there has fled. the shoot-out he has fled. he's in the water town area allegedly. police are going door to door knocking on doors seeing if they can find suspect number 2. >> it is worth mentioning prior to that suspect getting into what we belief is the watertown area the two guys suspect number one and suspect number 2 had stolen a vehicle at mit, drove that vehicle into cambridge, massachusetts they stopped at a 7-11 along the way. they let out the owner of that car. amazing they shot a police officer not long before but managed to let go of the owner of the vehicle unharmed after being in their hostage for 30 minutes. along the way another officer was shot. a transit officer. we understand he is in critical
2:34 am
condition. we don't know where yet. one officer dead one in critical condition as this unfolds in watertown, massachusetts. bill hemmer not far from the area. he has new information for us. what do you have there? >> the police commissioner confirming a lot of what you are talking about and where it stands right now. the manhunt for these two suspects began in # moments after their emergencies wey -- went public. one is dead the one on the right. the one on the left is on the run. i bet pretty good money they have the identity of these two people they know where they were from and what they were doing here in boston. i want to get to molly line who is here with us. she is in watertown, massachusetts 10 miles away from the finish line. she joins us with more
2:35 am
information. my colleague rip jenkins. what do you have this morning now? hello again. >> hi, bill. the sun is coming up, as we started on this story at 10:48 p.m. when the first initial alert went out at mit for an active shating. that's when the story began, we followed to watertown where the heaviest shooting the horrific gun fire we heard was taking place. not intentionally, i got caught in the middle of it. i had my cameras rolling as we see going door to door they apprehended a man in the middle of the night around 1:00. i heard two explosions and a lot of gun fire. there is every imaginable law enforcement mp here. i have watched the explosive
2:36 am
teams go in and commissioner davis go into this scene earlier tonight. i watched the fbi swarm here. it is most important should you be waking up right now seeing this in watertown this is a fluid, dangerous situation right now. as you see on this tape they were in this neighborhood because they know how dangerous they can be. one is dead but the other one is easily as dangerous. we are at least a five to now ten perimeter block away from it. we can hear the radio chatter on the policemen's walkie-talkie here. keep the perimeter secure keep the police south keep people from going in and out of the crime scene. don't answer your door unless it is an official police officer or other authorities trying to
2:37 am
contact you. >> you are with the cops they get the call you are traveling about 100 miles an hour with the police officers in this convoy over this to this house. when you are on both sides at this time do you believe one of the suspects was inside and is that the place in which the other suspects would ultimately lose his life? >> let me be clear, when i got here the heaviest gun fire we heard approaching was happening. i would estimate maybe a few blocks away. i was following as you see in some of the tape i was following the law foreignsment officers wo -- law enforcement officers working toward the gun fire. it wou i would guess 5-7 blocks and down about 3 blocks.
2:38 am
we heard an explosion as well. the guys i was with were working down toward it. somewhere in the tape we will see an ambulance leaving the active gun strong scene. i believe talking to ylaw enforcement here talking to other forces not the mit officer but the officer that was shot here in the gun battle he was taken to area hospitals. i was in the vicinity. the guys as you can see they apprehended someone with no injury there is. they could keep the crime scene and as best they can apprehend suspect number 2. the light is coming u. that will give more advantage should this guy be in this area in watertown. otherwise normally quiet town, certainly not the case tonight.
2:39 am
>> let me get some clarification here. no one is coming in or out of that area where you are, it's all kaur docordoned off. how large is that area are we talking miles and miles or a few blocks? >> i am told that it is about a 15-20 block perimeter. the reason why is because they don't know where he has gone. they also don't know where there could be any other explosives. so they are working the crime scene and the only people you see coming and going in and out of here have sirens and blue lights on top. they are trying to keep residents from moving around. they don't know what is out here but they know it's a dangerous area by all accounts. suspect on the lose. >> let's go back to bill hemmer in boston. bill? >> this is a message to the mit
2:40 am
campus. an mit police officer shot and killed on campus in the line of duty. we have posted a brief news story. while the circumstances around his death become an active investigation officer david blythe while defending the public. classes have been canceled for the day. we heard from the doctors who treated suspect number one said he died of massive drama wounds which is a combination of several gun shots and also explosive residue on his body at the time. what around irony that would be if he exploded a bomb and that was the resulting death of him after launching two bombs at the finish line at the boston marathon. jennifer griffin we are trying to figure out if these men were from the united states or another country.
2:41 am
>> we have confirmed from our producer mike levine that authorities are looking into consider these two suspects and possible others are foreign trained came from overseas and you remember during the press conference with the police commissioner not too long ago in watertown that he slipped out. he described this suspect that is still on the lose as a terrorist. he says they came from overseas to kill us. there is an indication these are people who came from outside of the country. i am told from sources in fact they are also looking into whether these vined you'll had foreign traini -- individuals hd foreign training and there is belief they had been trained overseas. that suspect number 2 the one in the white hat has been shown in the pictures released by the fbi
2:42 am
is on the lose. don't come out of your houses they are pleading with residents to stay inside not open that are doors under any circumstances. we have been following this from midnight. i have been listening to this on the police scanners there was reports of a pressure cooker on the scene. a pressure cooker bomb may have gone off or parts of it may have gone off as one of the explosions you heard earlier tonight. the tore so of this terrorist that was brought to the hospital not just gun shot wounds but also an indication there was a
2:43 am
blast that caused the injuries that killed him. >> to reiterate the boston police commissioner said the following quote earlier today an hour ago we believe this to be a terrorist when we fer to go suspect number two we believe this to be a man to kill people. back in a moenlt. mol -- moment. molly line has more information from that neighborhood. molly, hello again. >> we are just on the edge of that perimeter we have been talking about. we have been watching the activity increase through out the morning. we have been watching the actual neighborhood begin to wake up. we spoke with a woman about 10 minutes ago who was walking her dog. if residents get up and turn on their tv they may not realize it is happening until they get to the end of the street. she had walked around in the neighborhood not thinking it was too sere i didn't say.
2:44 am
the street was blocked off and said what's happening. there are folks who will begin to get up and start their way. it is a very, very dangerous situation here police have made that clear. this is the area where police believe the suspect came with and started fleeing the two suspects started fleeing coming into watertown throwing those explosive devices out as they made their route over here. that car is apparently abandoned. not too far down the road essentially mid area that includes it in the perimeter we are already talking about that goes from here to arsenal street where there are a lot of office buildings. there are a lot of buildings and restaurants. it is smack dab in an urban neighborhood. another police vehicle we are beginning to see more lights
2:45 am
come on and more vehicles becoming more active. bill? >> ladies and gentlemen, i am going to introduce to you the massachusetts emergency management agency director. we are going to talk about some provisions for transportation and lock down, continued lock down of the general community here. i am going to talk to you again about the lives. >> we are primarily in this press conference speaking to the public trying to provide guidance as to what the public should be doing and thinking about in the next hours while this situation is fluid. we have conferred with the governor, with the comblier of bo -- with the mayor of boston with all of the surrounding safety officials. the government has suspended the
2:46 am
service on system that is buses and subways. so all public transit services through the nbca have been immediately suspended. we are hoping as we proceed through the next number of hours we will be able to turn back on portions of the system. but the system has been shut down now as a safety measure. people that are at subway stations, at bus stops we are asking them to go home. we do not want people congregating and waiting for the system to come back on. we are asking people to not go out to bus stations, subway stations. if you are there please go home. we also want to speak to the residents, the public within the town of watertown and the cities and towns that are abutting
2:47 am
watertown, to be specific we are speaking to the residents of watertown, newton, belmont, cambridge, and austin brighton neighborhoods of boston. to those people we are asking you to stay indoors. stay in your homes for the time being. we are asking businesses in those areas to please cooperate and not open today until we can provide further -- >> lost that feed. i lost that feed. >> to the residents of watertown, newton, belmont, cambridge and austin brighton neighborhood to boston. we are asking you to stay home, stay indoors. we are asking businesses not to open. we are asking people not to congregate outside. we are asking people not to go to mass transit.
2:48 am
